Colored anemone?

[Pszemol]

How do you understand the term "colored anemone"?

Does it mean it is artificially colored with food dye?
In that case, how long the artificial coloration will last?
How to recognize (in LFS) anemone colored from the one not colored?
This green one pictured above - is it natural or colored one?
Anybody has experience with colored ones? What is their survival rate?

I think the reference to color in this anemone is due to its name Entacmaea
quadricolor. These anemones are very colorful. Ranging from green to blue
and red. (Also, I have seen these awesome green anemone's with red tips.
very gorgeous)

I wouldn't worry about them dying the anemone. It's time to worry when you
see oddball colors in species. Like an LFS boasting an electric blue sabae
anemone. If an anemone is dyed it will likely die within a few months.

Have you seen brignt yellow Entacmaea quadricolor?
I have seen it already in one of my local LFS.
It was for sure dyed because even water in the display
tank had yellowish tint to it. I do not know if green
color is normal for this anemone but it looks unreal.
